Let Ted be x.

Ed is 7 years older =  x  + 7

Ed = (3/4)Ted

(x + 7) = (3/4)x

x + 7 = 3x/4

x - 3x/4 = -7

x/4 = -7

x = -28,           Ted = -28 years.

(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21,      Ed = -21 years

Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense?  No it doesn't.

Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.

<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>

You operate a fresh fruit and vegetable market. For normal shipments, about 9.0% of the peaches are spoiled when they reached yo
Nastasia [14]

Given:

Spoilage rate of fruits = 9% = 0.09

To find:

Amount of fruits to be order to have 100 pounds of peaches and considering the spoilage rate.

Solution:

Let the required amount of fruits you should order be x.

So, spoiled fruits = 9% of x = 0.09x

He would like to have 100 pounds of peaches to sell.

x-0.09x=100

0.91x=100

Divide both sides by 0.91.

x=\dfrac{100}{0.91}

x=109.89

x\approx 110

The required amount of fruits to be order is 110 lbs. Therefore, the correct option is D.

The most likely answer is D) <span>"The date that the check is written is usually a few days before it is cashed. We record when it was cashed and you record when its written". 

There is usually a delay between when you write someone a check (and record it in your ledger) and when that person cashes it (when the bank records it). </span>

Expand (2x-3y)^4 using Pascal's Triangle. Show work
deff fn [24]
(2x+3y)⁴
1) let 2x = a   and 3y = b

(a+b)⁴ = a⁴ + a³b + a²b² + ab³ + b⁴
Now let's find the coefficient of each factor using Pascal Triangle
     
                     0     |               1
                     1     |            1    1
                     2     |          1   2   1
                     3     |         1  3   3   1
                     4     |       1  4   6    4  1

0,1,2,3,4,.. represent the exponents of binomials 
Since our binomial has a 4th exponents, the coefficients are respectively:

(1)a⁴ + (4)a³b + (6)a²b² + (4)ab³ + (1)b⁴
Now replace a and b by their real values in (1):

2⁴x⁴ +(4)8x³(3y) + (6)(2²x²)(3²y²) + (4)(2x)(3³y³) + (1)(3⁴)(y⁴)

16x⁴ + 96x³y + 216x²y² + 216xy³ + 81y⁴
